Ploiesti head coach Vladimir Arnautovic:"Congratulations to Keravnos on the victory. It was a good game. We were better for three quarters but when your opponents score 26 points in the last quarter then that is just too much. We were ok with the rebounds and the zone we played which caused Keravnos a lot of trouble. However, we couldn't find solutions against Maze and Crocker and we made some serious mistakes in the last quarter which are unacceptable at this level and that is the reason we lost the game."

Ploiesti player Vladimir Tica:"We played good for the first three quarters but Keravnos improved their game, forced us to do mistakes and won the game. We surprised them early on but in the second half Keravnos improved and our mistakes cost us the game. We try to win every game and improve but tonight was not our night. We will keep on trying."
